I spent two weeks with those wacky headphone-loudspeaker hybrids, but they're the easiest 'pass' recommendation in a long time
I’ll give it to TDM: the Neo is a fun idea, and the company has really tried in the execution of it, with some neat in-box extras. Unfortunately, it really doesn’t work: the Neo sounds pretty awful however you use the product, lacking bass in speaker mode and drowning in mud as headphones. The design also leaves a lot to be desired: they’re fine on-ear headphones, but as speakers they don’t sit flat on a table and have a gaping upwards-facing USB port which seems like a dirt magnet. Perhaps we wait, respectfully, for version 2.0.
